Body plugs for the hip look!

Body plugs, or the more common ear plugs as a form of body jewelry are the current rage as these are perceived to be cool and happening. There are others who think of body jewelry to be liberating and as an expression of the self. Gone are the days when ear plugs were devices lined with foam which enabled one to listen to music, or more often, to cut out the loud noise around. Body plugs of the modern times are jewelry items which are inserted into a piercing by stretching the skin. Body plugs or ear plugs are made from different materials, ranging from metals like steel, copper and gunmetal, CZ stones and semiprecious stones, plastic, amber and even the organic materials like wood, bone, horn, shell etc.

Organic Body plugs are being preferred on a larger basis, owing to the skin-friendly nature of these materials. Body piercing is a painful process wherein the tissues underneath the skin could get exposed to the body plugs inserted in the piercing. Organic Body plugs have a great advantage here – they do not react with the skin, and their inertness helps the piercing to heal totally. Skin piercings like on the navel or the tongue are very sensitive and need up to two full years in order to heal fully, and hence organic Body plugs are best for piercings which have not healed fully. Another popular choice for Body plugs is stone plugs in CZ or semiprecious stones, which offer a great look, and hold a value too and hence are ideal for investing some valuable dollars into.
